  • Patent number: 11931047
    Abstract: An osteotomy procedure may be performed to correct a misalignment of a bone, such as a bunion deformity. In some examples, the osteotomy procedure involves making a spherical-shaped cut transecting a first metatarsal, thereby forming a first metatarsal portion having a spherical-shaped projection and a second metatarsal portion having a spherical-shaped recess. The method further involves moving the second metatarsal portion in at least two planes relative to the first metatarsal portion, thereby adjusting an anatomical alignment of the second metatarsal portion.

  • Publication number: 20220313277
    Abstract: Devices and techniques for adjusting an alignment for a first metatarsal may include making a plurality of cuts along the length of the first metatarsal. In different applications of the technique, a plurality of transverse cuts may or may not be made intersecting the longitudinal cuts. In either case, the cuts can separate the first metatarsal into two individual portions and release a removable wedge of bone. The different portions of the metatarsal can be moved relative to each other to adjust an anatomical alignment of one portion relative to another portion, for example in multiple planes. After suitably adjusting the alignment of the different bone portions, the portions can be fixed together.

  • Publication number: 20220257267
    Abstract: A metatarsal correction procedure may be performed so as to minimize the length of the surgical incision created during the procedure. A variety of different instruments and/or techniques and facilitate the minimal incision procedure. In some examples, a technique involves making a comparatively small surgical incision to access a tarsometatarsal joint. A metatarsal and a cuneiform separated by the tarsometatarsal joint can be prepared. In addition, the metatarsal can be moved relative to the cuneiform using a bone positioning device having a metatarsal engagement member positioned in contact with the skin of the patient on a medial side of the metatarsal. After moving the metatarsal, a fixation device can be installed across the tarsometatarsal joint to cause fusion. In some examples, a plate holder is attached to a U-shaped bone plate to facilitate plating across the joint through the comparatively small incision.

  • Patent number: 10512470
    Abstract: An osteotomy procedure may be performed to correct a misalignment of a bone, such as a bunion deformity. In some examples, the osteotomy procedure involves making a first crescentic-shaped cut transecting a first metatarsal, thereby forming a concave-shaped end and a convex-shaped end on opposed bone portions. The method further involves making a second crescentic-shaped cut across the concave-shaped end of one bone portion and thereafter moving the bone portions relative to each other in multiple planes to correct an anatomical misalignment.
